What did Jesus mean when He said, "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven"? (Matthew 5:20 NIV). Does this really mean we have to keep all the laws the Pharisees implemented in order to ensure Jewish righteousness before God? Or, that we're supposed to become legalists? This week, Benjamin Chua walks through a personal story that illustrates what Jesus really meant when He spoke these words to His disciples and what they mean for us today.
